Bookmark Spacing

How can I reduce the spacing in the bookmarks list? The last several updates keep increasing the space between the bookmarks in the dropdown and it's a real pain having to scroll down when I've never had to. It should be something that can be customize, if not, put it back the way it was.

Hey there!

Please see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1342447 for how to remove the double spacing.

Hope I helped!

Kind regards,

Doesn't help. The solution is to modify code, that's not a solution. I don't do code, don't have the time nor desire to learn. It appears many others feel the same way, it's up to Mozilla to fix that which they broke.

Currently, there is no built-in way to tighten up the spacing. There is work under way to tighten up the bookmark menus that drop from the main and bookmarks toolbar. In Firefox 93 (next release), the optional Compact density setting will do that. Here's a preview from the "Developer Edition" (based on the beta test version of Firefox 93):

However, Firefox 93 isn't scheduled to release until early October.

Until then, as mentioned earlier, this is all the support volunteers can suggest:

Unofficial Community-Supported Workaround

Firefox users can modify the user interface of the browser using custom style rules. This involves setting up a userChrome.css file. If this is your first time, make sure to set aside 10 quiet minutes to work through it.
